The Sorting Office Open Studios gives the public the opportunity to look around the former Royal Mail Sorting Centre and meet the 16 creative residents currently working from studios in the complex.

As well as being able to meet the residents and see their work there is also the popular Makers Fair, where you’ll be able to browse and buy locally made products from a whole range of craftspeople and artists.

The weekend will see the launch of the new Sorting Office collection, a brand new initiative from the collective studios at The Sorting Office. There will also be the opportunity to snap up early bird places on the new summer workshop programme and see demos by the residents throughout the weekend.

Based in the heart of Eastleigh Town Centre, The Sorting Office is not normally open to the public but holds two Open Studios events a year – so they are a must-attend event.
